Excerpt
When he came back around to the front of the barn, she was sitting on top of a bale of hay, holding up a brown paper back with a grease stain on the bottom. Mooch, traitor that he was, perched at her feet, looking up at her adoringly, waiting for her to drop the bag.
“Mama sent some chicken and biscuits.”
He grunted an acknowledgment, and pulled his hat lower over his eyes so he didn't have to see the pain in hers.
She stood, setting the bag down next to her, and sauntered over to the stall where he was spreading fresh straw.
“What’s wrong?”
He couldn't think of the words to say to her. Everything that came to mind was wrong, and Brent knew that there was no way to have this conversation without hurting her. But he had to, or else he would end up hurting her worse in the long run.
As he kicked straw around the floor of the stall, he knew he was being stupid. For the last two weeks, all he’d talked about was how badly he wanted her to stay with him. And now he was about to do this…
He finally stopped when she said, “Brent. You’re scaring me. Is this about me not being able to have kids?”
“No.” Brent brushed past her to go to the feed room. Rattling the bucket brought in the mare, an enormous equine with a shaggy coat and bones showing through loose skin. She followed him into the stall, as he emptied the bucket into her feed trough, and then started pulling the injections from his pockets and preparing them silently.
When he had the first one ready, he finally got the guts to raise his head and look at Casey and deliver the brilliant line he’d spent the past ten minutes coming up with. “I need to think about some stuff.”
Her mouth dropped, and Brent lowered his head to the mare’s shoulder. While she was distracted, eating, he pinched some skin between his gloved fingers and stuck in the needle, pushing the plunger.
Brent had no idea what happened next. All he was aware of was a swift intake of breath, before he saw a wall of brown crush into him, then a jumble of whinnies, a frantic woof, a shrill scream, some clatters, then hoofs aimed at his chest, before blackness took over.
This is the first book I've read by the author and it certainly was an awesome one to start with!!!!
The story is based in Serendipity, Texas and centers around Casey and Brent!
Casey has just returned home after going through a bitter divorce after finding out her husband cheated on her. She wants nothing more then to lick her wounds and move on with her life.
While watching a hunky man repairing a neighbors roof, she starts daydreaming about the mysterious man and wishes he'd knock on her door when he's done!!
She's knocked for six when exactly that happens, except the mystery man isnt a strangers, he's the man who broke her heart 12 years ago!!
Brent has regretted walking away from Casey when he was 17, but at the time he thought his decision was noble - he wanted her to have all the experiences she wouldnt normally have had if she had a boyfriend at college.
But walking away was the biggest mistake he ever made and since then he's made mistake after mistake!
He's finally getting his act together, starting a sanctuary for abused and neglected horses and staying clean. He's also got a second chance with Casey.
He regrets the past and in all those years apart he still loves Casey deeply and Casey feels the same way!
Now that they have this second chance together they're not going to allow anything or anyone to ruin it.
But will they get their HEA??? or will the past come back to bite them in the butt???
I loved Casey! She's funny and always optimistic even if at times its just a front to hide behind. And you gotta love a girl who co-ordinates her shoes with her sexy underwear!!!
Brent is your alpha-male cowboy who sometimes forget its the 21st century when he's in caveman mode, especially when it comes to Casey and her welfare. But underneath all that he's caring and sweet and a good all round bloke who's learnt from his past mistakes!!!
This book was absolutely beautiful!! The writing was smooth and flowing and I found myself unable to put the book down which resulted in me needing numerous cups of coffee and resembling a zombie for most of the day due to some late night reading!!!
The characters were real and you could relate to them. You could feel their emotions - you laughed, you cried, you felt their remorse and pain, you felt the love they feel for one another, all marks of a great book!!!
I cant wait for future books from this amazing author!
***** out of 5 stars
